By now, “Doctor Who” fans know that lead actor Matt Smith is hanging up his bowtie after four years on the long-running British sci-fi series.

Smith, who was the 11th Time Lord, announced his departure over the weekend, saying, among other things, that “‘Doctor Who’ has been the most brilliant experience for me as an actor and a bloke.”

Smith will part ways with the Tardis at the end of this year after starring in the 50th Anniversary special in November and the Christmas special in December.

Smith was one of the show’s standout Time Lords — many Whovians place him right up there with David Tennant — so there are some big shoes to fill. Just who do you think should lead “Doctor Who”? Weigh in via our poll.
